Answer 1

dealer was made he hasn't mixed up

Answer 2

In these questions, we assume the ratio numbers to be the number of respective products,

Like ->

Let the weight of each dry fruits be 3x,4x and 5x

For each price would be ->

1)

= 3x*100

= 300x Rs

2)

= 4x*80

= 320x Rs

3)

= 5x*60

= 300x Rs

So,

Total Cost price = 300x + 320x + 300x

= 920x

So total Selling price would be = 920x + 50%*920x

= 1380x Rs

Therefore,

Price/kg = 1380x/12x

= 115 Rs
